Tapers Notes: Bill Elliot played keys for Bonnie Raitt and Stevie Nicks
before finding his calling as a big band leader in the 90's as an offshoot
of his musical direction of the Dick Tracy film. He formed a loose
partnership with a local vocal group, the Lucky Stars, in a vocal style
of the Pied Pipers and became a fixture when swing was in vogue , headlining
Merv Griffin's the Coconut Club. When swing fell out of fashion,
Bill moved to Boston and took up a teaching career at Berklee's College
of Music. When the Art Deco Pomona Fox Theater held a swing dance, he and his
charts were called back into action.

This is not a concert, but a dance. So taping was a challenge, either
get up close and record the clomp clomp clomp of shoes and conversation,
get knocked into or hit the balcony.

After two songs I opted for the balcony. At times its a bit distant, but
very listenable, and big band is all but a relic.
